Abstract

Perhaps one of the most important aspects of a successful occupational safety and health program, whether for an organization or a nation, is a robust and accurate means to measure and record occupational injury and illness statistics. Without an accurate assessment of where injuries and illnesses, and fatalities, are occurring, it is difficult to accurately identify the causes and take corrective action. Without sophisticated means to analyze complex data and associations, it is easy to be led off track from the true causes of poor worker health, and away from more effective improvements to occupational safety and health programs.
